Our front door could do with being replaced but I have no idea where to start. Current door is metal panel style door with glass panel, timber beading has started to come off and it's generally looking a bit shabby. It has a multi-point lock. It's also never been that draft proof.

So any recommendations for a front door? Don't fancy pvc as they generally look a bit naff so probably metal again. Rock Doors look nice but no idea how much they are.

We replaced our front door with a Vermont Rock Door earlier this year. It was expensive but well worth it. Other than the solid quality of it the first thing you'll notice is how noise it keeps out and how well insulated it is. Our home has been much warmer since fitting it.
The fitters need to be certified by Rockdoor to get the warranty so please keep that in mind.

Looks like rock doors might be a good choice then. What sort of cost are they?

Ours was £1900 including the full length side windows and a reinforced custom sill. Without the side windows and special sill it would be closer to £11-1200.

If you're in the West Yorkshire area this who we used

Yeah we paid £1200 in Harrogate for door + frame (and upgraded high security locks).

Thanks, that's not too expensive then. In central scotland.
